Combination mailing apparatus

ABSTRACT

A mailing apparatus is provided for sending a numbered communication through the mail including an attention-getting border contiguous said number. The invention includes a letter having an address area and a number area with the number area being surrounded by a border. An envelope is provided including openings therein covered by glassine windows permitting viewing of the address and number therethrough from the exterior of the envelope once the letter has been appropriately folded and properly inserted within the interior of the envelope. In one embodiment, the opening within the envelope permitting viewing of the numbered area on the letter therethrough is also configured to permit viewing therethrough of the border about the numbered area. Alternately, or in addition, the area of the envelope which permits viewing of the numbered portion of an appropriately inserted letter therethrough includes a border thereabout.

The present invention relates generally to mailing devices, and inparticular to a combination mailing apparatus comprising a letter andenvelope wherein the letter includes a number and an attention-gettingborder contiguous thereto.

Numerous devices have been available wherein envelopes and contentsintended therefor have been presented to solve certain specificproblems.

For example, envelopes have been designed to enclose a letter includingthereon the addressor's name and address and the addressee's name andaddress. The envelope is designed so that the letter can be folded andinserted within the envelope which is configured to includeappropriately placed windows therein so that the name and address ofboth the addressor and addressee on the letter are visible through theenvelope upon the letter being placed therein. In this manner,additional typing or printing of the name and address of the addressorand of the addressee on the envelope itself is eliminated.

In addition, combination letters and envelopes have been devised whereinletters and envelopes including appropriately configured openingstherein have been utilized to facilitate forwarding of letters whichinclude not only addressor and addressee information thereon but a postoffice cancellation stamp as well.

In addition, numerous other mailing devices have been available whereinenvelopes and specialized contents have been provided for facilitatingtransmittal of communications and packages of various sorts.

Despite the availability of numerous variations of envelopes andcontents, none have been available wherein a mailing envelope andcontents have permitted rapid and economical production of a numberedcommunication for transmittal including an attention-getting borderwhich is associated with the number during transmittal thereof and whichremains associated therewith upon the communication being removed fromthe transmittal means.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an improvedcombination mailing apparatus wherein economical production of anumbered communication for mail transmittal is provided wherein thenumbered communication is emphasized during transmittal thereof andremains emphasized after receipt as well.

It is a more particular object of the present invention to provide acombination mailing apparatus wherein addressee information and acontrol number are affixed to a letter which is appropriately folded andinserted in an envelope which is configured to render the addresseeinformation and number visible through appropriate openings in theenvelope. The envelope and letter combination are constructed andarranged so that an attention-getting border appears contiguous thenumber upon the letter being enclosed within the envelope with theattention-getting border being visible on the letter upon its beingremoved from the envelope upon receipt.

In accordance with an illustrative embodiment demonstrating objects andfeatures of the present invention, there is provided a business form foruse in sending a communication bearing a number having a visible bordercontiguous said number. The form includes an envelope having an exteriorand an interior. The envelope also includes first and second windowswithin the envelope. A letter is provided having first and second areason the letter. The first area of the letter is constructed and arrangedto receive addressee information. The second area of the letter isconstructed and arranged to receive at least one number thereon. Aborder appears on the letter proximate the second area of the letter.The business form includes means which are constructed and arranged topermit enclosure of the letter within the interior of the envelope withthe first and second area being visible from the exterior of theenvelope, through the first and second windows respectively. Thebusiness form also includes means being constructed and arranged torender the border visible from the exterior of the envelope proximatethe second area upon the letter being enclosed within the interior ofthe envelope with the first and second areas visible from the exteriorof the envelope through, respectively, the first and second windows.

The above brief description as well as further objects, features andadvantages of the present invention will be more fully understood byreference to the following detailed description of the presentlypreferred but nonetheless illustrative embodiment in accordance with thepresent invention, when taken in conjunction with the accompanyingdrawing, wherein:

FIG. 7 is a front plan view of an alternate form of a letter of thepresent invention, similar to FIG. 2; and,

FIG. 8 is a front plan view, similar to FIG. 3, of the letter of FIG. 7shown inserted in and enclosed by the envelope of FIG. 6.

Referring now specifically to the drawing and first to FIG. 1, there isshown an illustrative envelope first to FIG. 1, there is shown anillustrative envelope embodying features of the present invention,generally designated by the reference numeral 10, which shows anunassembled envelope body 12 which is generally in the shape of atruncated triangle. The envelope body 12 includes a generallyrectangular front face 14, left and right generally triangular areas 16,18, a lower, generally truncated triangular segment 20 and an upperlongitudinally extending flap 22.

As may be seen by reference to FIG. 1, a card 24 is removably fixed tothe lower segment 20 for a purpose to be described in detailhereinafter. The segments 16, 18 20 of the envelope body 12 areassembled in the usual manner by the usual methods to form a completedenvelope. The flap 22 may include muscilage applied to the upper andoutermost edge thereof in the conventional manner for use in fasteningthe flap to the remainder of the assembled envelope 10. The card 24,which may be used for a return receipt, may be affixed to the envelope10 before or after assembly thereof when the envelope areas 16, 18, 20are moved in the direction of the directional arrows A₁, A₂, A₃ (seeFIG. 1).

Located within the left-hand portion of the front face 14 of theenvelope body 12 is a first window opening 26 which is shown as beinggenerally rectangular but which, of course, can be of any desiredconfiguration in order to fulfill the functions thereof to be describedin greater detail hereinafter. A window 28 is formed of a transparentmaterial, which may be glassine, cellophane, or any similar material, issecurely fastened to the rear of the front face 14 on the interior ofthe envelope 10 by any convenient means such as by being glued about thearea within the interior of the envelope front face bordering theopening 26.

A generally rectangular window opening 30 appears within the rightportion of the front face 14 of the envelope 10 (see, for example, FIGS.1 and 3). A transparent window 32, formed from a generally rectangularpiece of glassine or cellophane or the like, of substantially the sameconfiguration though larger than the window opening 30, is fixed to theinterior of the front face 14 of the envelope 10 such as by being gluedabout the interior edge about the opening 30.

The envelope 10 is assembled in the ordinary manner and, if the card 24is utilized to obtain a receipt to be returned to the addressor in amanner to be described hereinafter, the card 24 may be affixedsubsequent to assembly of the envelope. Naturally, if it is desired, aprocedure for affixing the card 24 to the envelope 10 prior to theassembly thereof may be devised.

The exterior of the front face 14 of the envelope 10 includes acontrasting border 34 contiguous the exterior of the second windowopening 30 which, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, includes the wordsREGISTERED MAIL within the confines of the border 34 (see, for example,FIGS. 1 and 3).

The border 34 and the words appearing within the confines thereof may beapplied to the exterior of the envelope in any convenient manner such asby being preprinted thereon. In the normal situation, the border 34 forthe embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 would be in the color black withthe words REGISTERED MAIL visible thereon in white.

If the border 34 is applied by being printed on the envelope 10, at thesame time, the name and address of the addressor may be printed on theexterior of the front face 14 of the envelope 10 in the customaryposition in the upper left-hand corner thereof.

Alternately, a third window may be provided in the front face 14 of theenvelope 10 and a return address for the addressor may be shown on theappropriate place on an insert to be enclosed within the envelope 10.

A letter 36 is provided (see FIG. 2) of a width which is less than thelongitudinal extent of the front face 14 of the envelope 10 in order tofacilitate the enclosure of the letter within the completely formedenvelope in a manner to be described. The length of the letter 36(which, naturally, may be in the form of an ordinary letter or acomputer printout or the like) may be of any convenient size and, in apreferred embodiment, is approximately normal letter size.

It is appropriate to note that the business form which is comprised ofthe letter 36 to be described in detail and the envelope 10 may be ofany size and still be within the contemplation of the present inventionas long as the letter 36 and the envelope 10 are constructed andarranged as described herein. However, for ease of description, theenvelope 10 in its assembled condition is shown as the "standard"business envelope with a front face which is approximately 9 1/2 inchesin longitudinal extent and approximately 4 inches in width. In a likemanner, the letter 36 is shown as the "standard" business letter and isapproximately 8 1/2 inches in width and approximately 11 inches inlength.

As may be noted by reference to FIG. 2, the letter 36 may be folded backupon itself twice in accordion-like fashion to form three equal areas,each approximately 8 1/2 inches wide and approximately 3 2/3 incheshigh, thereby forming a folded letter which can be easily enclosedwithin the assembled envelope 10 (see FIG. 3).

The uppermost one-third segment of the letter 36 includes an arealocation indicating means 38 thereon located on the front face of theletter 6 proximate a first area of the letter generally indicated by thereference numeral 40.

The first area 40 of the letter 36 is located on the front face of theupper third of the letter 36 and is constructed to receive writing orother characters placed thereon in a manner to render them visiblewithin the first window opening 26 formed within the front face 14 ofthe envelope 10 through the transparent window 28 from the exterior ofthe envelope 10 upon the letter 36 being folded in the manner shown inFIG. 2 and inserted to be enclosed within the envelope 10.

A second area 42 appears to the right of the first area 40 on the upperthird of the face of the letter 36. The second area 42 is positioned onthe face of the upper third of the letter 36 to be visible through thewindow opening 30 formed in the front face 14 of the envelope 10 uponthe letter 36 being folded as indicated in FIG. 2 and being inserted tobe enclosed within the envelope 10 in a manner that any numbers whichare applied to the second area of the letter 36 are visible from theexterior of the envelope 10 within the window opening 30 through thetransparent window covering 32.

A border 44 appears on the front of the upper third of the letter 36proximate the second area thereof and locates the second area. In theillustrative example shown in FIG. 2, the border 44 is in black andincludes the words REGISTERED MAIL visible within the border. The border44 is contiguous the second area and does not completely fill thesegment of the upper third of the letter 36 to which it is applied butincludes an area in the center thereof constructed for receipt of anumber on the face of the letter 36 for a purpose to be described.

The border 42 may be applied to the front face of the letter 36 by anyconvenient manner such as being printed thereon including the wordsREGISTERED MAIL. Alternately, the border 44 may be applied by beingprinted or a separate label which is adhered to the second area 42 onthe top third of the front of the letter 36 and which includes acentrally located section permitting viewing therethrough of the numberto be applied to the second area of the letter. Alternately, the numbermay be applied directly to the center area of the label.

If the border 44 is to be printed on the second area 44 of the front ofthe upper third of the letter 36, the name and return address of theaddressor can be simultaneously printed in the upper left-hand corner ofthe letter 36 which may be visible through a third window within theenvelope 10 (not shown).

As noted hereinbefore, the card 24 (which may be a return receipt cardwhich is pre-printed with the return address of the addressor) may ormay not be affixed to the rear of the exterior of the envelope 10 asdesired. If the card 24 is affixed after the envelope is completelyassembled (and before the letter 36 is folded in accordion-like fashionto be inserted within the interior and be enclosed within the envelope10) the card 24 is fastened to the rear of the envelope 10 only alongpart of the left and right upstanding edges to permit closing of theflap 22 of the envelope after insertion of the letter 36 within theenvelope.

Alternately, after the envelope 10 has had the letter 36 placed thereinand the flap 22 has been sealed by conventional means, the card 24 maybe affixed to the rear of the completely assembled and sealed envelope.

As may be noted by reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the size of the windowopening 30 within the front face 14 of the envelope 10 permits viewingof the number on the letter 36 (which appears within the second area ofthe letter) from the exterior of the envelope. Naturally, thispresupposes that the letter 36 has been folded in thirds inaccordion-like fashion and inserted with the number on the second areaaligned with and therefore visible from the exterior of the envelope 10through the second window. In this configuration the name and address ofthe addressee (which has been appropriately affixed to the first area ofthe letter) is visible through the first window opening 26.

The border 34 which has been applied to the exterior of the front face14 of the envelope 10 proximate the window opening 30 (including theterms REGISTERED MAIL thereon) is visible bordering the number on thesecond area of the letter when the letter 36 has been inserted withinthe envelope 10 as described hereinbefore.

FIG. 6 illustrates an alternate method for accomplishing the goals ofthe present invention. An envelope 46 has been provided which includes abody 48 which is shaped substantially as in the body 12 of the envelope10 shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 4 and 5.

The body 48 includes a front face 50 which has a first window opening 52therein which is substantially similar to the window opening 26 withinthe front face 14 of the envelope 10 (see FIG. 1). The window opening 52is similarly closed by a window 54 fashioned of glassine, cellophane orthe like fixed to the interior of the envelope 46 in a manner similar tothe affixation of the window 28 about the window opening 26 describedhereinbefore.

A second window opening 56 appears in the front face 50 of the envelope46 and is located within the front face of the envelope substantially inthe same location as was the window opening 30 within the envelope 10.The window opening 56 is closed by a transparent window 58 of glassineor cellophane or the like which is fixed to the interior of the envelope46 in a manner similar to the manner of affixation of the window 32 tothe interior of the envelope 10 (see FIGS. 1 and 5).

The window opening 56 within the front face 50 of the envelope 46 is (asmay be seen by comparing FIGS. 1 and 2 with FIG. 6) larger than thewindow opening 30 within the front face 14 of the envelope 10. Further,the window opening 56 does not include a border thereabout on theenvelope 46 as does the window opening 30 within the envelope 10. Thereason for the increased size of the window opening 56 compared to thewindow opening 30 and the lack of a border thereabout will be describedhereinafter.

A letter 60 is shown in FIG. 7 which is substantially similar in sizeand configuration to the letter 36 shown in FIG. 2 including theprovision thereon of an area location indicating means 62, which issimilar to the area location indicating means 38 on the front of theupper third of the letter 36 shown in FIG. 2.

The letter 60 includes a first area 64 shown on the left in the upperthird of the letter folded in accordian-like fashion (see FIG. 7) forreceipt of addressee information thereon (such as name, address, etc.).The letter 60 also includes, to the right of the first area 64, a secondarea 66 within the upper third of the letter for receipt of a numberthereon.

A border 68 appears on the letter 60 on the right side of the upperthird section shown in FIG. 7 contiguous the second area 66, surroundingthe second area 66 and including the words CERTIFIED MAIL thereon. Theborder 68 may, either be printed on the letter 60 or may be printed on aseparate label which is affixed to the right portion of the top third ofthe letter 60.

The border 68 is constructed and arranged to permit viewing therethroughof the number within the second area 66 of the letter 60, or may bearthe number thereon if it is a label.

As with the letter 36 and envelope 10 shown in FIGS. 1 through 5, theletter 60 is shown as being generally 81/2 inches wide and 11 incheslong. The letter 60 is folded in thirds in an accordion-like fashion topermit insertion therein within the interior of the envelope 46 which isshown as being approximately 91/2 inches long and 4 inches wide.

The letter 60 and the first and second areas 64, 66 thereon areconstructed and arranged to be visible through the first and secondwindow openings 52, 56 within the envelope 46 upon the tri-folded letter60 being inserted in the envelope.

In view of the second window opening 56 being larger than the secondarea 66, the border 68 and the number within the second area 66 of theletter are both visible through the window 58 within the window opening56 in the envelope 46 when the letter 60 is inserted therein. In thismanner, printing of the border on the envelope 46 is eliminated and theborder 68 is still visible from the exterior of the envelope 46 (seeFIG. 8).

In use, a large-scale user of either registered or certified mail canapply to a local post office to reserve a series of numbers forregistration or certification of mail. These numbers are then suppliedto a printer (or are programmed to be printed on a series of letters bya computer) and are affixed to the respective second areas 42 or 66 of aletter 36 or 60.

Naturally, a series of such numbers could be affixed, seriatum, to aseries of letters 36, 60 by a printing machine, addressing machine orlike device. Conceivably, a computer printing machine or addressingmachine could also be programmed to place an address on the first areas40, 64 of the letters 36, 60 while the numbers are being added to thesecond areas 42, 66 of the same letters.

As a further variation, the addresses 40, 64 could be added manually bythe use of a typewriter or by mailing list labels with the numbers beingadded to the second areas 42, 66 by the use of a numbering machine orlike device.

In any event, by use of the present invention it is not necessary toseparately number an envelope as both of the envelopes 10, 46 includesecond window openings 30, 56 through which the numbers on the secondareas 42, 66 of the respective letters are visible once the letters areproperly inserted within and enclosed by the envelopes.

If the user of the subject business form (which comprises thecombination of one of the letters 36, 60 with one of the envelopes 10,46 either alone or in conjunction with use of the return card 24)desires to send registered mail, a letter 36 is used (after obtainingthe required block of registered numbers) which includes a border 44about the second area which is colored black and includes the wordsREGISTERED MAIL thereon.

The addressee information is added to the first area 40 of the letter 36and the registered number is added to the second area 42 of the letter.The letter 36 is then inserted within the envelope 10 with the addresseeinformation on the first area 40 and the registered number on the secondarea 42 being aligned with and visible through, respectively, the firstwindow opening 26 and the second window opening 30 of the envelope 10.

Naturally, an envelope is selected which includes a black border 34about and contiguous to the opening 30 and which border includes thewords REGISTERED MAIL thereon.

The result of the use of the letter 36 and envelope 10 just described isa letter enclosed within an envelope wherein the addressee informationcontained on the first area 40 is aligned with and is visible throughthe window opening 26 in the envelope and the registered numberappearing on the second area 42 is aligned with and is visible throughthe second window opening 30 (see FIG. 3).

The provision on the exterior of the envelope 10 of the black border 34including the words REGISTERED MAIL thereon draws the attention of theaddressee to the importance of the communication. In addition, once theletter 36 is removed from the envelope 10, the appearance of the blackborder 44 including the words REGISTERED MAIL thereon on the letteritself continuously brings to the attention of the recipient theimportance of the communication even after the envelope is discarded.

Naturally, if the user of the business form of the present inventiondesires to send a certified letter, he need only select a letter 36which includes a border about the second area which is colored red andwhich includes the words CERTIFIED MAIL thereon (similar to the letter60 shown in FIG. 7). In addition, an envelope 10 would be chosen whichincludes a red border which is contiguous a second window opening 30 andwhich includes therein the words CERTIFIED MAIL. In such an instance,the user of the subject invention would reserve a block of certificationnumbers from the local post office for use in numbering the subjectletters.

In an alternate form of the present invention, the border 68 about thesecond area of the letter 60 (which is shown in the preferred embodimentof FIG. 7 as being in red and including the words CERTIFIED MAILthereon) has the certified number affixed as described hereinbefore tothe second area and the addressee information affixed to the first area64. The letter 60 is then tri-folded in accordion-like fashion andinserted within the envelope 46 in a manner that the addresseeinformation on the first area of the letter 60 is visible from theexterior of the envelope 46 within the first window opening 52 throughthe window 54 and the certified number within the second area 66 and thered colored border 68 surrounding the certified number are both visiblewithin the window opening 56 through the window 58 (see FIG. 8). As maybe noted by reference to FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, if the window opening of thesize shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 is utilized, it is not necessary to includethe printing of the legend CERTIFIED MAIL within a red border contiguousthe second window opening 56 on the envelope 46 though this may be addedif desired.

Naturally, if desired, the letter 60 and envelope 46 may be utilized forregistered mail if the border 68 is colored black and includes the wordsREGISTERED MAIL thereon. In addition, the card 24, usable for a returnreceipt, may be used with the letter 60 and envelope 46 of theembodiment shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8.

Once the letter 60 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is removed from the envelope46, it includes the distinctive attention-getting border 68 thereon andthe certified number within the second area 66. The letter 60 therebycontinuously directs the attention of the recipient thereof to theimportance of the communication once the envelope 46 is discarded.

In addition, the assembled business form provides the normal function ofindicating the importance of the communication prior to opening byvirtue of the visibility of the legend CERTIFIED MAIL, the coloredborder 68 and the certified number from the exterior of the envelope 46before the same is opened.

The area location indicating means 38 on the letter 36 (see FIG. 2) andthe area location indicating means 62 on the letter 60 (see FIG. 70 areutilized in determining the proper location for the addresseeinformation on the first area 40 on the letter 36 and the first area 64on the letter 60. The area location indicating means 38, 62 may beutilized by a typist in placing the name of the addressee on the letters36, 60 if the address information is to be added to the letters bytypewriter. If the addressee information is to be added by an addressingmachine or other automatic or semiautomatic means, the area locationindicating means 38, 62 may be readable by an appropriate sensing deviceto locate the first areas 40, 64.

As may be noted by reference to FIGS. 3 and 8, when the letters 36, 60are properly folded in accordion-like fashion and placed within theenvelopes 10, 46, the area location indicating means 38, 62 are visiblewithin the window openings 26, 52 through the windows 28, 54 in theupper left-hand corner of the respective windows; and, the addresseeinformation is therefore properly aligned to be visible through thewindows as well. Naturally, the number information within the secondarea 42, 66 is visible within the second window openings 30, 56 throughthe second windows 32, 58 when the second window openings and the secondareas 42, 66 are properly positioned.

Accordingly, the business form which has been described greatlysimplifies and reduces the cost of the preparation of registered andcertified mail and permits its preparation by automatic or semiautomaticaddressing equipment, thereby greatly increasing the number of possibleuses thereof.

For example, the present invention permits the use of registered orcertified mail for such diverse uses as: product re-call; legal noticesof various sorts; notices to personnel of re-commencement of regularemployment hours after a work hiatus; credit and collection letterforwarding; forwarding of credit cards; and, such diverse other uses asproviding price-change information to retail and wholesale dealers.

As will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, the inventionmay be used in other specific forms without departing from its spirit oressential characteristics. For example, the window opening 56 shown inthe envelope 46 of FIG. 6 and 8 may be covered with a window (not shown)having a translucent opaque border including the words REGISTERED MAILor CERTIFIED MAIL in the appropriate color thereon. The presentembodiments are, therefore, to be considered as illustrative and notrestrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the claimsrather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which comewithin the meaning and range of equivalence of the claims are thereforeintended to be embraced therein.
